Capricornus has been recognized as a goat since Babylonian and
Chaldean times. Usually, it is depicted as a goat with a fish tail,
which might relate to a story about the god Pan. Pan, fleeing a
monster called Typhon, jumed into the river Nile. The part of him
that was below water turned into a fish, while the rest of him above
water, stayed as a goat.
